Liberal Arts
Rather than pursuing one area or major, Liberal Arts students complete two 18-hour fields and a 21-hour minor. One field may be interdisciplinary.
The major is also a perfect complement to the Murray State Honors Program curriculum.
Program Requirements
- University Studies or Honors Sequence — 44-48 hours
- Two Fields — 18 hours each/36 hours
- Minor — 21 hours
Study abroad, National Student Exchange, and/or internship are incorporated into each student's program.
